Story colored glasses: The snail rushes in
http://www.storycoloredglasses.com/2015/03/the-snail-rushes-in.html
Tuesday, March 17, 2015. The snail rushes in. Imagine you're at a party. You went there because somebody said you just had to be there. But when you got there, you found out that everyone was talking in a strange way. Say they were all clapping when they talked, or affecting an obscure accent, or hopping on one foot. Confused, you tucked yourself into a corner, nursed your drink, and watched the room. Or should you give up and leave? Just now I looked at Twitter, and I saw:. Something about toilet paper.

Story colored glasses: April 2015
http://www.storycoloredglasses.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 13, 2015. The Holy Roman Empire was a complex adaptive system. So a few weeks ago my son and I were watching the Crash Course World History. Series. In it John Green mentioned Voltaire's famous statement that the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire. I wondered if there might be some connection between these things, so I began to explore. Magic words of power. First I read about why Voltaire said what he said. Here's a very brief summary:. What we want to know. The n...

Story colored glasses: Questions
http://www.storycoloredglasses.com/p/questions.html
This is the full list of my question-a-week posts on Twitter. If you see no reason I should keep such a list, read this blog post. In which I attempt to explain why it is necessary. Q1 Online bandwidth is a trickle. Can we adapt to compensate? Are we trapped or have we learned helplessness? Is the cage door open? Q2 We tell stories every day. Not me, I'm not a storyteller. We used to tell more stories. Not me, I tell stories every day? Or is it a distraction from beauty? Is it influenced by zenosyne?

Story colored glasses: Into the archives again
http://www.storycoloredglasses.com/2015/06/into-archives-again.html
Tuesday, June 16, 2015. Into the archives again. Somebody once told me that somebody else said something interesting about me. "Keep your eye on her," they said, "She's a crackerjack." I've always wondered what that meant. Am I a confection. Can I be both? Is there a prize. Might want to see, and not just what I feel like reminiscing about. Mostly. May 16, 2001. One of the first things in the first notebook (I can find) is this hint of movements-to-come on the Cynefin framework. It says: "spaces not axes".

Story colored glasses: Participatory Narrative Inquiry
http://www.storycoloredglasses.com/p/participatory-narrative-inquiry.html
This page contains a few excerpts from my book ( Working with Stories in Your Community or Organization. That describe participatory narrative inquiry in a nutshell. Of personal experience;.

Story colored glasses: PNI Justified
http://www.storycoloredglasses.com/p/pni-justified.html
This excerpt, about the history and provenance of PNI, is from More Work with Stories: Advanced Topics in Participatory Narrative Inquiry. Which is at this time about 90% written). People keep telling me they find this part of the second book particularly useful and interesting (because they're curious about where this all came from). So I thought I'd bring this excerpt "up" here to the blog while the second book waits to be published. Why ask questions about stories? Why listen to stories? About how I (...
